What are employment supports designed to do?

Employment supports are specifically designed to assist individuals with disabilities in seeking and maintaining employment. These supports encompass a range of services and resources aimed at enhancing job readiness, facilitating job search efforts, and ensuring that individuals can sustain their roles in the workplace successfully.

The emphasis on seeking and maintaining employment is pivotal because it aligns with the overarching goal of promoting independence and inclusion for individuals with disabilities in the workforce. This includes providing access to training, job coaching, and other assistive technologies that enable individuals to thrive in their work environments.

The focus on employment supports is essential for creating opportunities and fostering an inclusive job market where individuals can contribute meaningfully, thereby enhancing their overall quality of life and economic stability. These supports are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, ensuring they receive the guidance and resources necessary to navigate potential barriers to employment.
